We good.

Early games are not my favorite. But at least it’s not an 11 am game!

Early thread gets the worm, Eh!

We have 4 days to prepare vs their 2. No excuse today

Gameday mic'ing up Timmy Allen is so ESPN. Because his last game was such a wonderful display of class and character from him. Classy ESPN at its finest

I do not feel good when we play early road games that are on CBS.

KU favored by 3.5. basically saying we are a touchdown better but on the road

Is this 12 oclock eastern, central, mountain or Pacific or Hawaiin or Russian?

Central

LFG

Easiest game against them in many years since they are definitely not what we've seen in the past.

Dig the title. Hope OU sits at home this year, and goes 0-12 in football.

Likely to be low scoring so have to board and limit Sherfield from living at the line again

Gameday in Lawrence next Saturday😁

Worked out some nervousness this morning chopping limbs💪

Baylor

Let's go boys

ok...keep them out of the lane...

KJ leads big 12 in fg %???
I read that yesterday

Self gonna use a TO before the first TV timeout?

Nevermind on that earlier message. Thought the start time was one hour earlier. Had my brother come over to help. Light work.

Awful

KU got fouled twice on that possession. Wilson gets creamed and KJ slapped on forearm on his shot.

@wissox said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Yet it's us with 2 fouls against.

might as well not start KJ the way he picks up early fouls

Another 12 game and we don’t look engaged the slightest smh.

Adams said I'm done already

2 points in 4+ minutes. On a 20 pt pace....

McCullar dud so far.

Kevin has zero confidence

Ugly

Wilson apparently is unfoulable

These refs fn suck

One thing that Roy would always do when the starter didn’t hustle was pull all 5 off early to send a message. Wish Bill would do that, wake up a tiny bit and we blow this team off the floor. No reason to lose this game other than laziness.

WHY the hell do we suck sooo dam bad at the beginning of games ? -- We dig ourselves such a hole and have to fight like a bitch most of the rest of the half or whateve to get even back in any kind of position to win. Now is not the time for Jalen to be going in a fricking shooting slump

Rewound that watched in slow mo. Grovers swipes down right across wilson's body. No principal of verticality being applied.

What does Jalen have to do to get a call? Good lord

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Start bleeding

2-- 8 field goal % and 4 turnovers in the first 5 minutes of the game not gonna win you vey many games

Wilson shrugged out of a sack by the linebacker the possession before too

@KirkIsMyHinrich maybe he should take blood thinners so he bleeds more easily

There ball too. Gtfu out of here

Dribbling is hard.

D has been pretty good IMO

Where is my dick

@jayballer67 Does it wear a four?

4 points in seven minutes

Oklahoma playing like warm dog doo and still ahead by 4 points

Joe is the best at bad shots

This is some ugly s***.... Shots aren't close to going in...

What the hell do we have to do to score - -Joe now with 2 foul - -Jesus

We have 2 brick houses built. Great job guys

2-14. Good grief.

Hey Joe

Where you going with that ball?

Shades of TCU 2013 so far.

4 points in 8 minutes. Glad we took that 4 days rest serious

@BeddieKU23 said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

workin on the third

at least six of the 12 bricks were pretty wide open shots.

but half our shots haven't even hit the rim --so can't call them bricks

We are getting some open looks but no buckets, need to get something to fall

has dick even attempted a shot ?

@DanR said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

at least six of the 12 bricks were pretty wide open shots.

That's not uncommon for this group

Need a steal with not Udeh dribbling on the break

Like that

That was alittle better

three scores in a row, YAY!

WooHoo

Don't these refs ever call a foul?

Way to drive Juando

JW almost always leans away from the contact - reason he doesn't get calls...

That was a big surprise

Bad effort by dick there you grab that board

@jessejayhawk said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Don't these refs ever call a foul?

Nope

bad call twice there ref

YMCA alert

Bullshit

Good on graves

Groves is crying a little early today

Bright side is we are playing OU, show up like this against Texas or OSU this is a 30 point beat down.

Harris is so smart

Up to 30% shooting!

@BShark said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

YMCA alert

no that would be a step up from this game. This is more like out behind the school after school some pick up ball

That was somehow only his first foul and he's still complaining about it

Kev Jalen and Joe are 0-9 from the floor

Groves is starting to drive me nuts every foul call he crys. He must be Bruce Webers surrogate son

@BShark we good!

the two teams combined- -13 - - 38 FG

The effort is there and we have figured out getting paint touches will win this game. Just have to make something

I kind of figured we wouldn't shoot 14% for the whole game, but Kev, Jalen and Joe need to get their 0% up a little bit

We're about to blow this one wide open

We'll take that

They call that a foul. Just quit kissinger

Tanner Groves should seriously have like 4 or 5 fouls by now

Ou fouls every single play

Can Bobby play

Another non call

This is an odd line up but working, if we can get to the break a head or down a bucket we are good.

Lucky to get that fast break

Turned on the TV to watch a ball game and got to see a comedy act

@RockChalkinTexas said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Can Bobby play

Nope not healed

JW now has 2 points in the last 55 minutes of game time..

Playing bad, shots not falling and refs up our ass and we are up by apoint?

Udeh is playing great

❤💙💪

Udeh is awesome

Udehs defense is going to be ELITE

Need to get Udeh a nice clean pick and roll lob

@KirkIsMyHinrich Landen worked with him. Didn't hurt him looks like

Have hit 9 of last 11 shots after 2-14 start. Many coming in transition...

You know what.- -Udeh doing some nice things , he is the one that knocked the ball loose on J Wilson 1st fast break - -Just his height /length / presence causing some problems. - -Getting a couple of rebounds has played fairly well

Udeh is progressing

Way to Patrick Mahomes

MVP 💛❤

How do you miss

great D

That was all ball

Udeh awesome

Baby doke

I'm clapping at the bday party,

games against ou are always ugly.

Udeh moving his feet and not fouling. Guy is impressive

udeh is kicking ass!

@BeddieKU23 Not quite but gettin there

Hell, Udeh is playing better D than Doke did freshman year for sure

Missing 2 straight front-ends doesn't help...

Sweet pass

That was awesome

Wilson finally knocked the lid off from behind the arc

Damn!

First 3...

Udeh has completely changed this game. If he plays like this the rest of the season it takes us to another level

U read gradey and Kelce article! See his shoes?

Jay this is Self putting the clamps on yall

Draw up the lob play for Dick, coach

Sure hill that was luck

I’m okay with these 16-2 runs to end half’s lol

OMG!!!

That'll work!

We'll take it, but was that really what they drew up in the TO???

beautiful play, guys

Jalen hello!!!

He shot that from Kansas

@DCHawker said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

We'll take it, but was that really what they drew up in the TO???

"Dribble around until you can get Jalen a contested three"

"Got it, coach."

Slow start, nice finish to the half. Now to keep up the defensive energy the second half!

Enough arc on that shot to take down a Chinese balloon

They woke up. - -Jalen woke up . One Question still remains though , WHERE THE HELL HAS dICK GONE ?

I'm out in my She Shed where I can scream outloud 🤭

I think the key was turning defense into offense and getting fast break points seem to wake us up. Defense was great the last 8 minutes believe they scored 4 points.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Udeh has completely changed this game. If he plays like this the rest of the season it takes us to another level

He vry much ha , -- and just the little things - -just his presence. - -Blocking 3 pt shot without fouling , getting some rebounds, good D - He is coming on

What a revelation Udeh is now. Hell of a job by the staff.

Was glad to see all the great things OU did, assholes

@BShark said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

What a revelation Udeh is now. Hell of a job by the staff.

2-14... then 13-16 shooting. That's nuts. Points off the break are so much easier.

Be really nice to have Udeh come on and have Zuby to help back that up

@BShark said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

What a revelation Udeh is now. Hell of a job by the staff.

He's been staying in front of OU guards on the perimeter and blocking shots without fouling.

Legitimately amazed by what I'm seeing out of him today.

the team looked better when udeh was in. don't remember that happening before.

@kjayhawks said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

OU 13 turnoers and most of them came late when we tightened up --Oklahoma is bad - - really bad

Who ever worked with Udeh the last couple of weeks did one helluva job. Keep it up and we will "be good"

Did you all see New Mexico State suspended their men's basketball team?

Let’s come out hot and put this on ice, get the young guys some big minutes here.

@jessejayhawk Landen Lucas And Wayne Simien

UK and Georgia in a battle right now, a must win for UK imo

Do it for Sano

Yes it's insane what's going on there

UGA has 19 points in 17 minutes of 2nd half play and is still ahead okay sure.

Not a Quad 1 win but a conference win is key

@DanR Don't you know no one is better coming out of the TO than Bill Self?

@RockChalkinTexas

they have done one helluva job. Hope they continue the good work

Grady hasn't taken a 3. Strange.

Hasn't had a clean look either

@wissox break out the pink shoes

They are face-guarding Gradey in the half-court. He's getting denied from multiple passes away.

@wissox OU has been all over his ass. That's why Mac got two wide open looks. shame he didn't convery

Udeh defense is all we need from him at the moment. That said...let's get him some lobs and dunks. Fire up his O.

Wow clean

call a foul ref, jeez

Wow, unbelievable

QUIT REFS

WTF Mac????

Pathetic

Well that wasn’t what I had in mind to start the half.

Always impressive how we can blow a lead in 1 minute

Well wasn't that fun

Okay, didn't get a couple of fouls called, but we left 2 shooters wide open and settled for quick, not great shots on our end. Not the same defensive intensity to start the half...

That was Oweh's first 3pt attempt this season

All because of a blatant foul.

Oh come on mr. announcer, clean?

@DCHawker Left one open and did not even try to contest the shot. Actually backed off from guarding him. Unacceptable

Nothing clean. Shut up

We are wearing down.

Juan!!!

Wtf juan

@Zabudda Who's wearing down?

It's utterly amazing that groves doesn't foul out every game

Wilson fouled again.

Refs don't even try

Moving screen

@BeddieKU23 could be worse
Higgins

Did the refs leave their whistles in the locker room?

UGA is going to beat UK, so there is that...

@RockChalkinTexas

Not sure these guys haven't already surpassed them

KJ just got clobbered a bit ago and yet - - NOTHING

I'd like to see MJ get some minutes

@jayballer67

They just wiped out a guard on their last bucket and nothing

Groves having 1 foul on the game is pretty hilarious. He could have like 7

@kjayhawks They are only allowed to use them on one end of the court

kev kev kev

Whatever

Another moving screen

Ou hit it once again asshole

Nice

nice turn around clockwise

au thor i t y

That dude was in the lane for 10 seconds

Not Gradey!

You could see the talent with Udeh, but man did he arrive raw. Like Moulaye Niang raw.

So what's the story on Dick's shoes?

Inner Kelce came out

bigtime

@DanR said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Not a good look JW...

udeh back in the house

there we go

immediately udeh flushes the ball...

pretty dish from Kev too

Nice feed by Mac

Wow this d is awesome today

So much more pleasant without the troll around.

yes sir

Who was the mom with the baby? Had an Udeh shirt on...

if he can just keep progressing. just his presence makes a huge diffrence

not udeh, KJ

Udeh in the house

Pretty move by Kev

Udeh and his 7'3'' wingspan changes this team

KEV

Now this is what it takes to repeat

@KirkIsMyHinrich Did he just lose a finger? thot it was 7'4"

4 Hawks in double figures...

Juan, Kevin, Gradey, Wilson, Udeh is a ton of length. OU is having trouble scoring over it.

Adam’s will still start going forward and I like that but Udeh should be getting prime minutes moving forward.

Udeh Oop

Best game of the year so far. Never a doubt bill could dial it in

Well this is fun

Let’s get MJ some time here

new starting lineup: juan,kev, dick, jw, udeh.

OK guys just settle down, we need to get Gradey his three for the game

Udeh came into the day shooting 73% from the field

2 points in the first 4+ minutes. 60 in the next 27 minutes...

Holy Crap guys how can we look so bad for some time and then look like BAM. - -I'm so impressed with Udeh today.It was him that knocked the ball loose that broke Kevin loss that they call OU for the intentional - -just doing eerything

@BeddieKU23 He is right up there with Doke

We took their own game and beat them over the head with it.

@jessejayhawk

And he's a freshman. It's scary

I told Porter Moser that I had some eligibility left a couple of years ago. He should have taken me up on my offer. I guarantee this wouldn't be this lopsided if he had.

@Zabudda Much like Manning vs Tubbs

I'm equally excited to watch Zuby develop into a twin towers machine for this team in the near future.

Lol walk

had yes guarding Groves and threw it out of bounds, LOL

That's the screen you call a foul on?

Gradey still aint shot a 3

Refshow

He's a very solid coach. The jury is still out on his recruiting. They seem to always play us pretty tough, except for today.

@DanR Absolute Shit call

Team drought alert

Does Jwil have to be bloodied to get a foul call WTF

look at all the empty seats. OU fans suck.

@Jethro They'll fit right in the SEC.

+1

5-11 FTs, and 2 misses were front-ends...

@DCHawker that’s my biggest issue with this game

Boom Jalen

I would like to see HCBS runs some plays for Gradey - maybe a double screen or two...

Let’s get a few plays for MJ and Dick here

Hey Alabama,
You ain't for real if you lost by 20 to this OU team.

Whiney tanner at it

Hold them under 50!!!

@Jethro

We finally got back to December play. This was an awesome performance

I'd say, clear the bench, but we don't have a bench left.

We've complained - rightfully - about our bench production. OU's has 0 points on 0-7 shooting...

It's an Udeh world, and we're just visitin'

Can we win by more than Texas today?

@DCHawker and we have 0
for Udeh....NOT

Omg kev stood there

Juan with the pump fake...OMG

Harris in his bag

Nice shot napolean dynamite

Tanner Groves is just a bargain brand Drew Timme

Rice has had four chances to make an offensive play and muffed them all

Looks like I missed a good one today. Not disappointed though since it was because my 8th grade team won a district championship today! This has been a good day so far!

@Texas-Hawk-10

Make sure you catch the replay

@Texas-Hawk-10 Coach of the Year!

Ok, I officially love Jay Wright. Speaks so highly of coach and our program. contrast that with the little know it all Frannie.

Jay Wright has always been a class act. There's a reason he was always at the top of a lot people's list to replace Self if Self ever went to the NBA. We also ended his career too.

Probably the best we've played all season besides those first 8 1/2 minutes

@BeddieKU23 Is he our best 3 point shooter, percentage wise?

Yank takes 2 treys and Gradey shoots zero

@BeddieKU23 said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Epiphany moment. Bill Self is the best coach in all of basketball, and it shows. Now we got a real big man.

Okay who's got next. Put your coins on the table. Let's go!

We are mainly here to complain!

That makes KU 4-1 against the SEC this year.

Everyone needs to settle with the Udeh over KJ talk, KJ had a good game too. Let’s not rush the young fella and put him as a starter just yet.

Been a while since we've seen the walk-ons.

@DCHawker said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Yep.

Our bench has been very nice in this recent stretch. I think we have seen our tournament 7. Starters + Udeh + Joe. MJ I think is only stealing minutes when Bill is more comfortable.

@BeddieKU23 said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

Zuby back

i Saw that--that's a good thing, he was starting to show some improvement too - -ge him and Udeh progressing ad things looking better - - much better

Having a quality backup big man is certainly great progress. We'll take it.

20 wins! Last time we didn't reach that mark was 1988-89.

Would not have thought we would end up shooting 55% from the floor in this game after the way we started I tell you what.

I think the start was 5-19 from the floor which means they finished 28-41.

@kjayhawks The great thing about both of them is that they bring a shitload of energy to the floor. with the progression of Udeh I don't care which one is on the floor. they each bring their own talents and depending on the circumstances each will contribute

19-0 the last 2 years with Juan scoring in Double figures

Udeh - -4-4 from the field - - 2 blocks - -& 2 steals - -in right at 18 minutes I think

Like they were talking on Radio. This could very well be our last game at Lloyd Noble. - -endin up 22-20 - one of our toughest places to play - - -- we had lost 3 out of our last 5 at Noble

Need a Horned Toad and Red Raider victory yet today

Going :dashing_away: into the lab :man_scientist: for Tuesday's :fa-calendar: game 🧵 title.

Considering our shot percentage for the first 5 or 10 minutes of the game, how in the hell did we end up a 55% for the game

Coach Self now has 25 consectitive win Seasons -- 20 of those at KU

Up to 9th on kenpom. Huge game

Team had 19 assists today - - 16 steals - - - & 4 blocks

I counted four clear attempts to get a lob dunk for MJ but none worked. He has the presence to mix it up on the boards and is hard to push around. And also it was nice to see The Zube on the floor. Texas held serve at Austin as they should have and we got another road win as we should have.

Now we get a little more rest then Oklahoma St which is playing on the road later against Iowa St. Riding momentum into Tuesday. We got this

Is the team staying in Oklahoma or coming home?

When we drive to the rim, we win. When we shoot jumpers all game, we lose.

I was really impressed by Udeh's D.

He was huge when KJ went out with 2 fouls.

We have a post presence on D.

KU only shot 10 3s and made 5. Is that enough 3s? I watched at a sports bar, so I didn't/couldn't pay attention to OU's defense. Why so few 3s?

@stoptheflop Inside game was working well. Grady wasn't looking for it either. Those are my best answers but what do I know?

Why shoot 3s when you're rim running?

@stoptheflop that’s pretty efficient so I’m good with it. They face guarded Gradey and Jwil most of the game, didn’t help off of them and dared someone else to shoot. Kevin missed 2 wide open ones and Juan hit one. Teams are okay at this point with anyone but Jwil and Dick shooting the 3 it looks like.

KU only shot 10 3s and made 5. Is that enough 3s? I watched at a sports bar, so I didn't/couldn't pay attention to OU's defense. Why so few 3s?

Yes, because the style of play today wasn't suited for KU jacking 3's all game. OU's defense was terrible today and KU was pretty much able to get whatever they wanted at the rim after the slow start. If you're getting a bunch of easy baskets at the rim, there's not much reason to shoot a lot of 3's. KU was probably near 70% from the field from 2 after the slow start. To be that efficient from 3, you'd have to make over 45% and that's very rarely ever going to happen at a high volume.

KU took what the defense gave them and that's how it should be every game.

@DanR landen can't jump

@BShark for the win!

Udeh!

If we can get that from him every game here on out...i'd be over the top pleased. Very quick on his feet for a big.

So glad to see us get something from our bench for a few games now. Udeh was a beast! KJ better play smarter (bad fouls) or he'll continue to lose minutes to Udeh.

Now.... we better bear down big time because that OSU game is an absolutely necessary win if we want to stay in the hunt for a conference title. We've got to come out strong from the beginning!

Seen when I was watching the Arizona /Stanford game- -it scrolled across the bottom. - - KU-is - -16-- 0 - - against unranked teams this yr - - only D-1 to do that

Hard to watch- PM is taking this very hard:

Dang, was traveling and wasn’t able to watch again. Been awhile since we had a nice blowout on the road. Fun to read the comments here, and yay for no board rat bickering! Can’t wait to watch the replay of this one. If our bench keeps producing like this, I’d feel pretty good about a deep tourney run. This team (like last year’s) is full of surprises!

We started off poorly with our shooting and could have been down by double digits but due to OU's poor shooting stayed in it. The first half was frantic and I can remember thinking thank goodness the halftime came when it did. Our getting to the rim was due to us displaying a high level fast break off turnovers and rebounding. That helped take Groves out of the game after the first ten or so minutes. Dick, again, showed his worth when not scoring by being active on the boards and in passing lanes.
When Udeh got his steal and found himself all alone in the open court I thought this will be interesting and it was. Rice must have made some alley oops in practice this week but due mostly to suspect passing it didn't pan out during the game. Watching Joe with the ball approaching half court I found myself holding my breath and thinking oh s*** he is going to launch one from the logo.
Zuby using his physical gifts to be a beast on defense is still a lady in waiting but could happen like KJ's was used by Self last year to close out games.

Udeh's monster lob dunk was #9 on ESPN top plays.

The world knows of Ernest now

Another milestone for this year's team: our 20 W's makes this the 34th consecutive year of 20+ W's per season. Wow. For jayblaze I looked back at our last non-20 win season. Of course it was Roy's first year in the 1988/89 season, 19-12 the season after our National Championship. KU was ineligible for the tournament because of the BS recruiting violation. I sure wish KU had fought that like Jerry Tarkanian and UNLV fought proposed sactions during the same time period. But because Coach Brown took off for the NBA and we had a very unproven head coach coming onboard, I guess KU just passively took that suspension. What's that jayblaze, you ask "what team has the second longest 20+ winning seasons?" Maybe someone will get back to us on that.

Feels like the game has really slowed down for Udeh lately. Hoping he has turned a corner there. The fact that we really didn't change anything defensively from the stuff we run with KJ is remarkable for a guy Udeh's size. Did a great job moving his feet.

@stoptheflop Consecutive 20-win seasons:

first: 34. Kansas (1990-present)

second: 31. North Carolina (1971-2001)

I’d argue the stuff is just enough different to be dangerous. The roll off the pnr is just enough different with kj running short rolls to give him space to make a play and Udeh rim running that it has to be tough for opposing defenders to manage the different coverages they need to run to stop each KU bigs strengths. Add Harris really attacking those things to score right now and JWill and Gradey both being reliable outside shooters and we get real tough to guard for a full 40 minutes.

I’m liking that we don’t have interchangeable pieces but rather players with a variety of strengths that make scouting an issue. With Joe, Udeh, and maybe Rice, off the bench, we have guys that CHANGE the game when they come in, not just keep it going.

@benshawks08 I mean defensively. Udeh was switching onto guards. Offensively they bring different things to the table.

Udeh's switching was impressive. Can he do this against teams with better O, let us hope so.

We are pumped about Udeh as much as anything else. Watching him move without being paralyzed by indecision is a real eye opener. His length really shows and his handles on lobs are impressive.

@benshawks08 Joe struggled yesterday, not sure how he needs to be coached.

He's the only player on this team that gets minutes and "forces" shots imo. Usage is way too high. Is who he is, and not really a Self kinda of player. Don't know if he will transfer after this year but might be better for him.

@tundrahok Thanks, Tundra.
